I'm looking for a headset for gaming and commentaries, which means I would like a noise cancelling mic. I like to livestream my games and comment, but it's problematic with an integrated mic or other mics that capture ALL sounds. At the moment I have used a pair of Sennheiser HD202's and HD201's along with the integrated laptop mic. Then I switched to an old pair of Creative Fatality's. Both options didn't really suffice for me. I want a noise cancelling mic, some surround sound, decent quality sound (i'm not an audiophile), and comfort (i wear glasses and don't really want something that grips onto my head tightly).

Now, my choices, so far I have looked at the G35. I can purchase it from Logitech directly with a 25% coupon code for 98$~, which I think is the best price I'll get.

But 98$ still seems quite expensive to me. It's not that I can't afford it, but generally the cheaper the better.

Any other suggestions? Or should I not waste money going for a mediocre product and go for the G35 or stick with my old setup.

I think the G35 will do a good job. Other options around that price with decent / better mics, for example the Beyerdynamic MMX 2, are not as good all-rounders.

I suppose it depends on how important the mic pickup is compared to all the other attributes - the pickup on the G35 is a little like the Sennheiser PC 350 and many other midrange headsets: a little 'radio-sounding', but trying to get better pickup will cost more than the figure you mentioned.

I use the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 as my primary headset (although the G35 also gets a lot of use on my gaming PC), which has major improvements in terms of mic pickup quality, resulting in a much more 'natural' sound, over the ~$150 sets - but then it costs a lot more.

i cant really say much about the g35 audio quality since im no audiophile but the channel separation in games like for example left 4 dead is fantastic.You can always tell which direction something is coming from before it makes its appearance so be prepared to being called a wall hacker because it gives you that much of an advantage .

It sounds Great but like i said im no audiophile. I have recorded myself using the headset and it records real well. (i recorded some audio samples of my voice for a voice acting job and the agent said they sound real good)

I also wear glasses and can tell you that these are the most comfortable headsets ive worn in a long time.

Razer's retail prices are extremely overpriced for the quality of goods, but most of there products sell for far less then retail after a few months. I've picked up a few of their mouses and headphones in the $20-$30 range.

i have the Razer megalodon, would higly recomend it over the g35 by logitech. they are stong/not flimsy excelent bass 2.1/7.1 sourround sound! cant get much better. look great fit great. best 160 dollars i have ever spent apart from my razer mamba which i mannaged to get for 70 dollars.

what wrong with their keyboards though? im about to buy their lycrosa mirror edition?

and razer may be a ill more expensive, but i have never had a problem with them, they look better and the build quality u cannot beat from what i have seen soo far!

Do not get the lycosa. (i own one myself, and it has so many bugs with it)
Sometimes the keys doesn't register at all, and the touch panel totally fails.
